Spalding's 
Athletic Library 

Anticipating: the present ten- 
dency of the American people 
toward a healthful method of living: 
and enjoyment, Spalding's Athletic 
Library was established in 1892 for 
the purpose of encouraging ath- 
letics in every form, not only by- 
publishing the official rules and 
records pertaining to the various 
pastimes, but also by instructing, 
until to-day Spalding's Athletic 
Library is unique in its own par- 
ticular field and has been conceded 
the greatest educational series on 
athletic and physical training sub- 
jects that has ever been compiled. 
The publication of a distinct 
series of books devoted to athletic 
sports and pastimes and designed 
to occupy the premier place in 
America in its class was an early 
idea of Mr. A. G. Spalding, who 
was one of the first in America 
to publish a handbook devoted to 
athletic sports, Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide being the initial 
number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the 
eports prominent in the '70s. 

Spalding's Athletic Library has had the advice and counsel of Mr. A. G. 
Spalding in all of its undertakings, and particularly in all books devoted 
to the national game. This applies especially to Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide and Spalding's Official Base Ball Record, both of which 
receive the personal attention of Mr. A. G. Spalding, owing to his early 
connection with the game as the leading pitcher of the champion Boston 
and Chicago teams of 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, with 
matters pertaining to base ball; there ia not a sport that Mr. Spalding 
does not make it his business to become familiar with, and that the 
Library will always maintain its premier place, with Mr. Spalding's able 
counsel at hand, goes without saying. 

The entire series since the issue of the first number has been under 
the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President 
of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of 
consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three 
hundred, included in which are many "annuals," that really constitute 
the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies 
of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do the 
really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever 
been consecutively compiled. 

When Spalding's Athletic Library was founded, seventeen years ago, 
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger 
colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa- 
■ional meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of com- 
ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis 
bad some vogue and base bpdl was practically the only established field

sport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been Invented; 
athletics for the schoolboy— and schoolgirl— were almost unknown, and 
advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not get a 

earing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world is 

e Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had 
an entry list at its annual games of over two thousand, and in whose 
"elementary series" in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the 
trophy emblematic of the championship. 

While Spalding's Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth 
of athletics in this country is due to It solely, the fact cannot be denied 
that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, by 
printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various gamee 
at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object 
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person 
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which ho 
might be interested. 

In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lead- 
ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result 
that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with 
Spalding's Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors 
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical 
manner. 

A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead* 
ing numbers of Spalding's Athletic Library ia civen herewith : 



JAMES E. SULLIVAN

WALTER CAMP 

For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp 
of Yale has occupied a leading position in col- 
lege athletics. It is immaterial what organiza- 
tion is suggested for college athletics, or for 
the betterment of conditions, insofar as college 
athletics is concerned, Mr. Camp has always 
played an important part in its conferences, 
and the great interest in and high plane of 
college sport to-day. are undoubtedly due more 
to Mr. Camp than to any other individual . Mr. 
Camp has probably written more on college 
athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and maga- 
zines of America are always anxious to secure his expert opinion on foot 
ball, track and field athletics, base ball and rowing. Mr. Camp has grown 
up with Yale athletics and is a part of Yale's remarkable athletic system. 
While he has been designated as the "Father of Foot Ball," it is a well 
known fact that during his college career Mr. Camp was regarded as one 
cf the best players that ever represented Yale on the base ball field, so 
when we hear of Walter Camp as a foot ball expert we must also remem- 
ber his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he is a 
great admirer. Mr. Camp has edited Spalding's Ofl^cial Foot Ball Guide 
since it was first published, and also the Spalding Athletic Library book 
on How to Play Foot Ball. There is certainly no man in American college 
life better qualified to write for Spalding's Athletic Library than Mr. 
Camp. 



DR. LUTHER HALSEY GULICK 

The leading exponent of physical training 
In America; one who has worked hard to im- 
press the value of physical training in the 
schools; when physical training was combined 
with education at the St. Louis Exposition in 
1904 Dr. Gulick played an important part in 
that congress; he received several awards for 
his good work and had many honors conferred 
upon him; he is the author of a great many 
books on the subject; it was Dr. Gulick, who, 
acting on the suggestion of James E. Sull'van, 
organized the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and 
was its first Secretary; Dr. Gulick was also for several years Direc-tor of 
Physical Training in the public schools of Greater New York, resigning 
the position to assume the Presidency of the Playground Association of 
America. Dr. Gulick is an authority on all subjects pertaining to phys- 
ical training and the study of the child.

("Father of Base Ball") as editor of Spald- 
ing's Official Base Ball Guide; sporting editor 
of the New York Evening Telegram; has

PREFACE 

This book is a digest of the Official Rules. The 
rules are gathered from all parts of the Official 
Rule Book and placed under a few general head- 
ings which are arranged in alphabetical order. 
Every heading covers all points which may come 
under it. To find a point, one has simply to look 
at the ' ' Contents ' ' to find on what page the head- 
ing begins, and then to glance through the brief 
under that heading. 

It is meant for the use of officials, to help them 
to refresh their memories before a game and to 
afford them a quick means of ascertaining a point 
during a game. It also gives a ready means of 
finding a rule in the Official Rule Book by the 
references to its pages in parentheses. 

It should also be of great help to a player in 
studying the rules, but it is not meant for use by 
a novice at the oame. 



Numerals in parentheses after the letter * ^ P ' ' on 
right side of page refer to page of Official Rule 
Book. 

References with headings, such as ^' Off-side 
(2)/^ refer to heading and section in this book. 

Letters ^'F.J.^', ''R.", ''U.", "L." in paren- 
theses on right side of page designate the official 
in charge of Penalty ( ' ' Field Judge, ' ^ ^ ' Referee, ' ^ 
' ' Umpire, ' ' ^ ' Linesman " ) . 

' ' Offense ' ' ^ Side which put ball in play. 

^ ' Defense ' ' = Side which did not put ball in play. 

^'Point" = Distance to be gained.

DECISIONS ON FOOT BALL RULES FOR 1911. 

At a meeting of the Central Board on Officials, held at New 
York, September 22, 191 1, for the purpose of interpreting the 
rules for the benefit of officials for the current foot ball season, 
the following list of disputed points was presented and referred 
to the Foot Ball Rules Committee for final decision. As the 
members of the Committee were widely separated, necessarily 
delaying the receipt of their individual decisions, and as the season 
is now at hand, it was decided to print the list tentatively and 
subject to future corrections, 

C. Linn Seiler, 
Secretary Central Board on Officials, 

Logan Hall, 36th St. and Woodland Ave., 

Philadelphia, Pa. 
Page 80. Rule III. , Section 2 — 

Insert after the ^ ox A disqualified the words " or suspended." 

Pa^e 85. Rule VI., Section 6, paragraph (<?) — 
Insert after the word before the words " or after." 

Page 86. Rule VI., Section 8— 

Add the following definitions of a touchdown: " Forward pass 
going over goal line or striking posts or bar on fly;" also "a 
kicked ball touched by ofT-side man inside the lo-yard line." 

Page 87. Rule VI. , Section 9— 

Add further definitions of Safety: " Kick bounding back from 
one of kicker's side;" also, "Safety as described under Rule 
XXVI., Section 7." 

Page 89. Rule VI., Section 17— 

Note that the omission of the section providing that a ball 
striking the official should be dead, means that that rule has been 
eliminated and the ball continues in play. 

Page 89. Rule VI., Section 17, paragraph (g)— 

Omit in the last two lines the words " either," "or rolling on 
the ground." 

Page 91. Rule VI L, Section 1 (d)- 

Omit the words " a safety" in the second line. 

Page 106. Rule VII I, Section 2, Penalty- 
Omit the last two lines. 



r:^e 108. Rule XVI 11., Section 5 (d)- 

Add the words " or in a bona fide attempt to get at the player 
carrying the ball." 

Pa^e 108. Rule XVIII., Sections (b)- 

Second line. Insert after the word play "and are not in pos- 
session of the ball," and next to the last line insert after the word 
attempt the words "to get at or." 

NOTE. — A distinction should be made in the mind of the offi- 
cial between a fumble by a player attempting to make a forward 
pass and an actual poor attempt to make the pass; that is, if the 
ball went distinctly forward from an intentional forward pass and 
struck the ground, it would be an incompleted forward pass, but 
if the ball rolled off the man's hand or was fumbled in the attempt 
to steady it for the pass it would be an ordinary fumble. 

Page 111. Rule XIX., Section 5 (a)~ 

Top of page. Change the words "where the foul occurred" to 
the words "of the preceding down," and insert this whole pen- 
alty one paragraph lower down; that is, under the next penalty 
now standing there, this penalty taking its place. 

Same page, same Rule, same Section, paragraph (c). Add the 
words "before it has touched the ground." 

Same page, same Rule, Section 6. Omit the words in the 
middle of this Section as follows, "and before it has been touched 
by a player of either side." 

Page 112. Rule XIX., Section 8- 

Omit the words in the middle of this section "either," **or 
rolling on the ground." 

Page 113. Rule XX., Section 4, Penalty- 

Omit the following words, "same as under Rule XIX., Section 
3 (a) read 'kick' for 'pass.' " 

Page 120. Rule XXVI.- 

Insert Section 5>4: "If a foul occurs for which the oenalty 
would carry the ball across the goal line, the ball should be placed 
on the i-yard line." 
Page 121. Rule XXVI., Section 7- 

Add in parentheses (The above rule applies only to fouls com- 
mitted in the neutral zone). 
Page 129. Rule XIX. , Section 1- 

Insert at the end of this section Section 4 of page 133, and omit 
it from its present place.

Officials' List American Intercollegiate 
Foot Ball Rules Committee, 1911 

(Subject to Additions and Corrections.) 

It is difficult for the Central Board to attempt to publish a complete list of 
satisfactory field officials, but in order to put the results of their work in 
more concrete form and preserve these data for convenience of managers, 
have prepared the enclosed partial list of men who have proved most service- 
able to the sectional committees in the East, West and South. It is hoped 
this will be of permanent value and simplify future arrangements. 
We take great pleasure in extending this to those whom it may aid.

SUGGESTIONS FROM THE CENTRAL BOARD. 

The Central Board on Officials in concluding its work for the year would 
suggest the following plan for its work in the future: 

That the Central Board should be appointed by the Rules Committee whose 
function, (a) should be advisory, rendering assistance as indicated; (b) to 
assist by public interpretations of the foot ball rules; (c) to maintain a cer- 
tain control over sectional boards in the management of executive details; 
(d) to publish lists of accredited officials; (e) to offer recommendations for 
the conduct of these officials; (f) to arrange meetings for interpretation; (g) 
when advisable arrange conferences tending to the formation of sectional 
boards.

Standard Policy 

■ : ^ ' 

A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a manufacturer to long 
maintain a Standard Quality! 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber as 
well as the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to 
set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the 
jobber and retailer, these high hst prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been 
served when Jhe manufacturer has secured his order irom the jobber, and the jobber has secured his 
order from the retailer. 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not f^ir to the consumer, who does not, and, in 
reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, "with their misleading but alluring high list 
prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he 
can, by offering "special discounts," which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are 
assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition 
amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices hy which the profits of 
the retailer are practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists on lower, and stcll 
lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the 
only way open to him, viz. : the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 12 years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding 
& Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the AtHelic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what 
has since become known as "The Spalding Policy." 

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned, 
and the retail dealer secures his supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer 
under a restricted retail price arrangement by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and 
certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Quality and is 
protected from imposition. 

The " Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, 
and acts m two ways: 

First— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, and 
the same fixed prices to everybody. 

Second— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at 
the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture 
of our various goods, well ^head of their respective seasons, and this enables 
us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding 
Standard of Quality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supply consumers at our 
regular printed catalogue prices— neither more nor less— the same prices that similar goods are sold 
for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

AH Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no 
special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

Positively, nobody; not even oflficers, managers, salesmen or other employes of A. G. Spalding 
j& Bros,, or any of their relatives or personal friends, can buy Spalding Athletic Goods at a discount 
from the regiJar catalogue prices. 

This, briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful operation for the 
past 12 years, and will be mdefinitely continued. 

In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a "square deal " for everybody.

standard Quality 

An article that is universally given the appellation ** Standard** is thereby 
conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature. 
For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency, 
because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its 
being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp thereon. As a protection to 
the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, considerable money 
is expended in mamtaining a Secret Service Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen 
manufi* ~ers must depend to a great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices 
to protect -nselves against counterfeit products— without the aid of "Government 
Detectives " or " PubUc Opinion " to assist them. 

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and "in- 
ferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the "Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for thirty- 
three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a 
Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and main- 
taining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the 
necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring hhnself but also protecting other con- 
sumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-Mark and all 
that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in 
maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be 
plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution 
our best efforts towards maintainmg Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent 
substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer tVid reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of "inferior 
goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a 
guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufacturer of cheap 
goods, whose idea of and basis for a claim for Standard Quality depends principally 
upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty 
in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
